Should I skip my power conditioner?
"Ultimate protection = unplugged"Isn't that why one of the original surge protector companies was called Onan?Kal 
Any heard of Porcupine Tree?
Their new DVD-A Deadwing is superbly recorded.Kal

Should I skip my power conditioner?
I do not disagree about plugging power amps directly into the wall outlet unless you need surge protection because of your location and/or house wiring. In fact, I didn't use any protection (AC, that is) until I had a lightning hit that took out a...
